Ok, just downloaded Windows live mail and testing it. Looks nice. Regarding hotmail in that, will it show emails offline ? Or will show hotmail emails only when connect to net ? Or any settings I missed ?

Once u login with your Live Mail user name & password, it will take a lot of time & download a copy of each & every mail & folder to your computer. Like in my case I had 20 MB on my WLM Webmail, I had to wait for about 40 mins for everything to download. After this everything stays in sync. You can read downloaded mails even if u r offline provided that u checked the option to download full mail & not just the header.

Dr KK There are good chances that we won’t be needing any tricks anymore to register @live.com email addresses because Microsoft perhaps has plans to make it available publicly but even in the first place I do not understand why have they kept this service hidden and not made it officially open for everyone.

Hi people, you should know that all the registration of @live accounts that have been made until now will be delete. Windows will launch the new live mail with @live account by the end of this year and people with @hotmail have the priority, I mean all that stuff of reservation of @live mail is false. The javascript and the change of url are just for have the @live name but not the @live registration. You should be careful, because your suppose new @live mail is not true and all accounts created until now will be delete. I recommend you to read the news from Windows Live before believe in some little script that make you think that you won up the system. Best regards!

Live is False?

Is that true? OMG, I already gave my new @live.com address to all my contacts, so it means that it will be deleted? Please can someone confirm me that information. It’s terrible. *www.sizlopedia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif

Hi Fairy, yea that’s true, as far as I concern if you have already an @live.com address it will be delete. That’s why I’m waiting the launch of the new Live Mail to open my account

Ok just to clear the air over here,

Live id deletion - Falsethe Live team had already made it clear that they would not be deleting the Live ids. They already are loosing their users to gmail and yahoomail, the last thing they would want now is to delete some of their own users, and loose them forever.

Space upgrade to 5Gb This will happen for hotmail as well as live id users. There is no such difference between hotmail and live ids, both are one and the same thing.

Windows Live Mail - not Windows Live Mail Desktop.
Windows Live Mail is not a online mail service, it is a desktop mail service just like outlook. It will also work Offline, you can view all the mails you have downloaded, create mails to be sent later when switching to online.
You dont have to download all of your hotmail emails when you configure your id. After you have configured the id, it will only retrieve the folders list.
After the list has been retrieved, you can choose the retrieval settings for each folder -
* Download New Messages
* Download headers
* Download All Messages
* Do not synchronize.

MSN Messenger Error Code - 80048820*www.computerperformance.co.uk/images/code/80048820.jpg

The Symptoms you get

When you launch MSN Messenger and try to logon, you get error message 80048820. A wild guess, your system time or date needs adjusting.
The Cause of Code 80048820

There are a variety of causes of this error:
1) Incorrect Proxy Setting for Internet Explorer.
2) softpub.dll may have become unregistered.
3) Your system clock may be showing an incorrect time (or date!).
4) Firewall problems. Particularly with Netgear.
The Solutions to MSN Error Code 80048820*www.computerperformance.co.uk/images/code/80048820_lan.jpg

Internet Explorer - Try removing the tick next to Internet Explorer 'Proxy server' settings, instead, go with the 'Automatically detect settings'.
1) Launch Internet Explorer, click Tools and then click Internet Options.
From the Internet Options dialog box, go to the Connections tab.
Click LAN Setting. Un check the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections) checkbox. Finally positively tick: 'Automatically detect settings'.
2) Register softpub.dll.
Click Start (Button), and then click Run, type regsvr32 softpub.dll. Restart MSN Messenger. See also Error code 81000314
3) If necessary, logon as a local administrator and set the computer's clock to the correct date and time. (Check on the internet if possible.)
4) Turn off the firewall temporarily. Check firewall settings such as Norton: "Block access to secure sites". If this cures the problem, make sure that Microsoft's MSN Messenger is allowed full access through your firewall.
NetGear problem, but also with some other routers
a) Enter IP address 192.168.0.1 in your browser's address bar.
b) Log on with ISP user name and password.
c) Enter Admin, password
d) Navigate to advanced menu, WAN set-up
e) Change MTU size to 1400
5) Try a password of no more than 8 characters.
6) If you are using IE 7.0 check the SSL Settings. Internet options advanced (Tab) scroll down to the bottom. Security section. Tick 'Use ssl 2.0'.
6) Drastic! Try uninstalling MSN Messenger version 8.0 or 7.5 and install Microsoft MSN version 7.0.
